ABC Legal Services Data Breach Class Action Investigation

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent ABC Legal Services data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at ABC Legal Services where an unauthorized party accessed and removed files from the company's computer network. While the total number of affected individuals has not been disclosed, the breach potentially exposed sensitive personal information, including Social Security numbers of certain individuals.

What Happened?

A recent report filed with the Maine Attorney General's office states that ABC Legal Services identified suspicious activity within their computer network on August 7, 2024. The company immediately responded to the security incident by implementing protective measures and engaging cybersecurity experts to investigate the breach.

The investigation confirmed that an unauthorized party had accessed and removed confidential files from the network between August 7 and August 8, 2024. After a thorough review completed on November 11, 2024, ABC Legal Services identified individuals whose information was compromised in the incident. While the specific types of data remain redacted in public notices, the company has confirmed that Social Security numbers were among the exposed information.

Data breach letters were sent out by ABC Legal Services on December 6, 2024, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data. The company is providing complimentary credit monitoring services to individuals whose Social Security numbers were potentially impacted.
